Happy Christmas everyone!

Christmas is almost upon us - well, it already is for many people who celebrate today, like The Queen and much of continental Europe. I can tell it is Christmas in my house, because it is the only time of year I suffer from 'overflowing fruit bowl syndrome' and have recourse to the decommissioned perfume fridge in the garage, which whirs into life to receive its consignment of party Prosecco and the pared down limbless dome that I have bought this year by way of a turkey.

I am about to launch a final assault on the shops this morning - well, more of a surgical strike at this point to be fair - to secure strategically important items such as bread for the stuffing, Sellotape, and sherry for general coping with the inevitable stress of the occasion.

So I would like to take this opportunity to thank Bonkers readers everywhere for your support in 2013 and to wish you 'happy festivities', whatever and however you celebrate.

I will be back with another post on a vaguely Christmassy theme shortly. Meanwhile, here for your enjoyment is a photo of a present I bought myself, proving once and for all - as if anyone ever doubted it! - that there is such a thing as 'tea towel porn'.

The actual day went like clockwork, thanks, though I was too unwell on Christmas Eve to procure the sherry in the end, as I mention above. I am pleased to say I was sufficiently restored on Christmas Day itself to enjoy a festive glass or two of Lidl's finest champagne! :)

Thanks for your faithful support of Bonkers down the years - I really appreciate your regular and thoughtful comments.

You're not too late in my book - Christmas greetings are accepted right up till Jan 6th, after which they will be construed as early greetings for next year. ;) All the best to you too, and thanks for being such a stalwart reader and commenter!

Merry christmas Vanessa (since we actually celebrate it at least for the rest of this week)! Let's hope for fewer postal restrictions on perfume, I love to read different opinions on new perfumes and so wish perfume would be be for all of us to sample.

Nice to hear from you - wishing you a very Merry Christmas week! Yes, I second your sentiments and this problem of the new postal situation is surely going to feature in my end of year review. Why perfume should suddenly be construed as an Exocet missile beats me entirely, but the regulations have just got a little madder.

About me

I am an independent market researcher, specialising in industrial product sectors, who was struck down in early 2008 by 'sudden onset perfume mania'. 18 months later I took up blogging as a family-friendly outlet for the oddball ramblings prompted by this newfound interest in fragrance - and by my travels generally.
